TWO LOCAL OFFICES TO BE UNITED-IMPROyING
THE SERVICE.
For the Information and guidance of mariners the
Government keeps open two offices In the Maritime
Exchange. a branch Photographic Office In charge Of
Lieutenant COttman, Of the Navy, and the Marine
Agency, branch Of the Signal Service Bureau. Tho
former Office Is under the wing Of the Navy Depart
ment. Tho salt seas, however, are the special field
Of usefulness of each. The authorities at Washington
for time had in contemplation the merging
of the two offices into to be under the care OF the
photographic Office. They almost ready to
carry out this scheme meeting will be beid In
ashngton next week to arrange the details. Cre&ter
good Is expected from the union OF the two Offices
The work Of the Marine Agency has been Of meal
observers report to tie condition Of the weather 40
ship captains furnished with blanks 10 take
with them, on which they note accurately tho
weather encountered. From the first port they reach
copy Is mailed 10 the agency here. Most OF the
captains reaching this port have blanks filled out
with details of the storms they have encountered,
which they hand in to the Agency. From the daily
data thus obtained IL be seen that the weat er
observations the nearly perfect. The
positions Of the gales and cyclone, that sweep over
the face of the thus obtained and forecast
Is elegTaphed every night to NJ Maskat, the head OF
tho Meteorological Bureau Of Paris, and TO similar
officer In London for the benefit Of captains about to
sail from European ports to this other countries.
Many ships thus saved from steering blindly into
the midst Of roaring cyclones. As the ocean Is tho
peculiar study Of the Navy, 1t was deemed best to
sfer this system Of observations TO the Hydro

SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.

NO Times Democrat: 1t is daily
becoming more evident that the new
spirit of progress awakened in Ala
bama, and which has spread thence
to Mississippi, now prevails in Lou
isiana. Shreveport is about to Sc
cure new and important railroad
connections; Alexandria will also
have a new railroad route, and also
Monroe. Cheneyville boasts that
boom has been lnaugurated there
and that land long tied up and use
less is being sold and a town laid
out there. And so it is throughout
the State. Louisiana is entering
on the same era of development
which has progressed somewhat
further in Alabama, where 1t is
doubling and trebling wealth in the
short space of few months.
Shreveport Times: Five railroads
are projected from Arkansas into
North Louisiana; one from Hope to
Shreveport; one from Camden to
Shreveport; and another from some
point on the Iron Mountain road
through Claiborne parish, thence
south to Alexandria, crossing the
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
road at Gibbsland. A fourth is the
North and South road from Fort
Scott, Kansas, to Natchez, crossing
the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific at Monroe. A fifth goes
from some point in South Arkansas
to Natchez, crossing the Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific at or near
Rayville.
|. Chattanooga, Tenn, has voted
100000 in bonds for the Chattan-
ooga and Southeastern railway.

This railroad will connect with all
the Southern trunk liues, and be
the eighth independent railroad at
Chattanooga.
The Atlantic system of the South.
